My name is Lawrence Mendoza and I live in Santa Barbara , California Santa Barbara
In an attempt to protect myself I created a blog so
that I could share my investigative results on it. My blog can be found @ http://www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruption.blogspot.com
My concern today is that some of our Temporary
Gubernatorial Appointees to the California Superior Court have committed
election fraud, when they intentionally failed to seek election to their first
full term as mandated by our State Constitution. The
Constitution states clearly that if a vacant Judicial seat in Superior Court
was filled by a temporary gubernatorial appointee in a non-election (odd) year.
The appointee must then seek election
to their first full term of six years in the following
(even) year’s general primary. Now if the temporary judicial vacancy was
filled in an (even) election year, the appointee must wait for the next even
year’s June general primary or roughly two years.
Over the last six years I have spent countless hours
researching issues and events so that I could intelligently share my findings
with you. I know that this may seem like a complicated subject matter but
honestly after you view the side by side comparisons it is all pretty simple.
Today I will present to you six different examples of
when odd year Gubernatorial Appointees sought election to their first full term.
By the end of this posting it will be quite obvious that 3 judicial appointees
followed the law and three did not. So let’s start with Judges Overton and
Bondonno who were both appointed to the Santa Clara Superior Court bench in
July of 2005.
First the
Appointment Announcement
Posted on Tue Jul 12 2005
22:41:42 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
“Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today announced
the appointment of Franklin E. Bondonno and Carol W. Overton to judgeships in
the Santa Clara County
Now let’s
review when these two odd year Gubernatorial Appointees (July2005) initially sought
election to their first full term. My research shows that Judge Bondonno did indeed seek election in
the next even years June Primary of 2006, thus keeping him in complacence with
our State Constitution. (http://www.smartvoter.org/2006/06/06/ca/scl/judicial.html )
However, the other 2005 appointee Judge Overton failed to seek election in June 2006 like Judge
Bondonno. Instead Judge Overton chooses to wait two additional years finally
seeking her first full term in the June 2008 primary. Consequently I think we can all agree that
she failed to comply with our Constitution and
that is our problem!
Let’s look at one more example an odd year Gubernatorial Appointee and when he ran for his first full term. Richard B. Ulmer
Jr. was appointed to the Superior Court of San Francisco by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June of 2009. Judge Ulmer Jr, Judge
Overton and Bondonno were all odd year appointees to the bench. The records show
that Judge Ulmer Jr ran for his election
in the next even numbered primary which for him was June 2010. So based on
these three examples the simple question we have to ask is what was it that
allowed Judge Overton to wait an additional two years before she ran for her first
full term?
Now my next three examples all come from the Santa
Barbara Superior Court and just as in the first three examples all three were
appointed in odd numbered years. In August of 2003 Governor Gray Davis appointed both Arthur A. Garcia and
George C. Eskin to the Santa Barbara Superior Court bench as
temporary judges. Unfortunately my research shows that neither Judge
Garcia nor Judge Eskin ran for their first full term in the June 2004 Primary. Instead
it appears they both waited an additional two years for the June 2006 primary.
As I have already shown their actions as odd year appointees of 2003 dictated
that they run in 2004 thus both of them broke the law.

Now for my finale example proving an inconsistency with both Judge Garcia and Eskin’s actions we get to Santa Barbara
Superior Court Judge James Herman, who was first appointed to the
bench by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in May 2005 (odd year). Now Judge Herman
like Bondanno and Ulmer Jr. did run for his first full term in the next even
years Primary of 2006. Once again it seems obvious that some appointees are in
compliance with our States Constitution and others are not. By the way Judge
Herman’s wife is Denise de Bellefeuille who was also a sitting Santa Barbara
The Santa Barbara
I think we can all agree that we have a very
serious problem if judges ignore the States Constitution upon which is a
foundation document of California
-In closing I leave you with
these two question;
1-what happens now that I
have proven there are some temporary judicial appointees who did in fact fail
to seek election when mandated by
law and still occupied the
bench?
2-and what happens to all the
Civil and Criminal cases that these Judges presided over when they illegally
retained their seat on the bench?
S.B.C.C.C. The place
where COMMON SENSE never goes out of style!
